A lot of gamers seem to think that publishers are charity cases and have the right to survive, and that it would be the end of the world if they went under. Well, none of that is true. They are businesses, which means they need to persuade people to give them their money, and they never have the right to twist the consumer's arm. If ANY COMPANY goes down because of used games, so what? Someone will take their place, and it'll probably someone who knows how to make money without pissing people off.

"  it's a bit annoying listening to the crew shit on it constantly"

That's all I'm trying to say.

I'm just trying to point out that everything that the Giantbomb crew says about Assassin's Creed nowadays is full of vitriol. The crew, specially Jeff and Ryan, have just blown up the small number of issues in the first Assassin's Creed game and made it sound like the game suffers from crippling issues that apparently make the game unplayable.

"I agree with the OP, but there's no point posting it on a forum filled with brown-nosing cunts with a copy-paste opinion. "

" YEAH FUCK THEM FOR HAVING OPINIONS! BURN THE INFIDELS! "

As opposed to the tremendous amount of respect and civility you're showing towards the OP's opinions, right? "

I love the alternate reality that the entire Bombcast takes place in.

You know, that alternate reality where the first Assassin's Creed is one of the most painful experiences in modern video game history.

Where Fable 3 is the most dissappointing game of 2010.

These two are but the most recent examples of the crazy reality that these guys live in. It's amazing to me that they do not connect the dots between their opinions of these and other games, and the fact that they are in a unique position (by way of their chosen profession) to experience things that the average consumer and video game enthusiast does not.

"The Fable 3 that Giant Bomb perceives and the Fable 3 that the rest of the world perceives are so bafflingly divergent. Yes, it had some issues, but they were forgiveable. The real reason the game has been infamous on GB is because Brad screwed up his endgame. He wasn't paying attention -- probably trying to rush through to complete his review -- and now any time the game comes up on the podcast, I find it very frustrating to listen. "

"I'm in the "crappy games don't deserve sequels" camp. The first Kane & Lynch was so uniformly awful that there's no way I'm going to waste my time on the sequel. The time, effort and money put into this game would probably have been better spent on a completely different franchise. It's bad enough that we get so many damned sequels to mediocre games. "
